Thomas worked at a boutique metal fabricating business in Auckland, New Zealand in 2009. He was responsible for designing and manufacturing a custom forged steel balustrade that was inspired by vines growing in nature.

Everyone’s favourite detail: the tiny mushrooms forged on top of the screw caps to conceal the screws.
